"Unlike the others here, I go as often as possible! At least to Sabbath school. Well, I'm not "out" to these folks, and someone needs to correct them when they start talking out of the wrong end! Whether it's trivial stuff about…"

"I would have loved to go *sigh* but I am still recovering from major surgery. From what Hemant Mehta says, this is not going to be an annual event, due to the time, money and effort this takes to put on. On a positive note, it's…"

"Hi Tiffany. Not a SDA, (ex-Mormon). I will go to church for weddings, 3 yrs. ago, funerals, 8 mos. ago, things like that. But I think that is different than going for church services. These things I mentioned are for the individual person/people, so…"

"My wife is still clinging to her SDA roots and she occasionally wants to attend church. I bring her since she does not drive. I do not enjoy these visits and have actually just dropped her off the last couple of times since I really…"

"I still have contradictory feelings on going to the church where I grew up. On one hand, the people there have loved and cared about me since before I was born. They've cheered me on through every life event and I feel gratitude for that.…"
